There are two Atrioventricular Valves in the heart. The first one, on the right side of the heart, is called the Tricuspid Valve (it has three 'flaps'). On the left side, the Atrioventricular Valve is called the Bicuspid or Mitral Valve (it has two 'flaps')

Another name for the bicuspid valve?

These are the valves of the human heart. The bicuspid (or mitral) valves each have two large flaps, curved to close the rear entrance of a chamber, through which blood enters. The tricuspid valve is located between the right atrium and the right ventricle. It normally has three flaps but may have two or even four flaps, and this can change with age.


What is the name of the two chambers of the heart where the bicuspid valve is located?

The right atrioventricular valve is known as the?

The right atrioventricular valve is known as the tricuspid valve because it has three leaflets or cusps that regulate blood flow between the right atrium and right ventricle.


The bicuspid valve separates these two structures?

It separates the left atrium and left ventricle. Oxygenated blood is pumped into the left atrium after having visited the lungs through the pulmonary veins. Then the atrium contracts and moves blood through the bicuspid valve and into the left ventricle. The bicuspid valve is important because it allows the blood to only flow into the ventricle and not return back to the atrium. Another name for it is the mitral valve.


What is another name for pulmonary valve?

Another name for the pulmonary valve is the pulmonic valve. It is one of the four heart valves and is located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery, regulating blood flow from the heart to the lungs for oxygenation.

What is the difference between a bicuspid valve and a tricuspid valve?
